Salt And Pepper Pork Patties 椒鹽肉餅

It was one of those nights! I opened the fridge and stared at everything in it hoping something would suggest to me what I should do with them, if I remember correctly they never once did! I took everything needed to be used before the weekend out and put them neatly on the kitchen table, here's the list of 'use me now or I'll be off to the bin items' I found:

500g of minced pork shoulder

1/2 a bag of carrot

5 cups of cooked rice

200g of beef fillet

1/2 a Chinese cabbage

"Another steamed pork dish might be way too soon, maybe some fried patties instead?" "Definitely some fried rice with the rest of the beef! and oh, how about a stir fried Chinese cabbage with egg sauce?" I murmured to myself. Menu was sorted within seconds, thank god it was a lot easier than I had imagined!!! now I just have to start cooking, do I have to?
I was extremely pleased with how all the dishes turned out, of course able to use up bits and pieces of meat and vegetables that otherwise might have gone to the bin was a big big plus!!

hungry tummies , another yummy yummy meal to share ! I just pan fried my patties most of the time too....hahahaha...don't need to do a BIG clean up after that.... you did 99% of the cooking...WOW...how wonderful ! the other 2 tummies better just eat and be contented and better not make any noise...hahahhahaha... u know what I mean ? I did 100% cooking in my family so they know very very well how to behave !hahahahahhaha

Dont read my blog when your are hungry Temasek! yeah sweet potato flour is a new thing to me and I am a complete convert, it is a different texture than corn flour as the flour itself is not in a powder form.you are welcome to join us anytime you want!!

I do that too, look at everything in the fridge and try to come up with something that is edible, I feel a little like an Iron chef with a secret ingredient to battle with. I love pork meatballs so I salivated the second I saw the recipe!
